Random musings that don't warrant their own threads

Got burgled at Uni once, they broke into my room, ignored my Playstation, went all the way to the opposite end of our three story house, nicked my biatch ex-girlfriends stereo and fucked off. Best burglary ever.

We were burgled on Christmas Day one year. Lost my C64, colour telly, disk drive and a stack of games. Burglars completely ignored the speccy though and oddly completely ignored the huge whisky bottle of change (which we later counted out and totalled to about £200!)

Our place was burgled two years ago on New Year's Eve when the family was away on vacation. The thieves just stole the brand new television which we had bought one week earlier. They didn't touch anything else.

I think they worded the restriction horribly but now that they posted a retraction, I can KINDA see what they were worried about.

In their own words... "we have decided to remove these restrictions completely. This means that any player who self-identifies as female will be allowed to participate"

Key point being you merely need to self-identify as female to get into this all-female tournament. In this day and age it's a bit of a delicate topic as to what counts as female, but it's easy enough to say "anyone who identifies as female is female", but when it comes to competitive categories, it's not so easy.

You look at the world's top game players and they're mainly men. So what was to stop a group of men entering the tournament, saying they're female, and winning? It's a rule that doesn't seem necessary until someone takes the mickey.
